How can I remove a fatty tissue bump under my skin It is on

Resolved Question:

How can I remove a fatty tissue bump under my skin? It is on my forehead and is at leased one inch above my eye. An over the counter remedy, to soften or turn white, to peal off like as if a bandage covered sore turning white that will go dead and come off. Any suggestions?
It is only 1/4 inch across (round).

None of the responses helped me remove this by myself. I already knew I could spend $1,000 or more to have this removed, The responses did not suggest a way around that expense.

I wanted a way to do it myself as I stated. I was considering putting some numbing compound on it and then sterilizing a needle to drain it. I thought they would recommend the products that I could buy over the counter to do it safely. I din't want to spend $1,000 or more as they suggested to have it removed, I already knew I could do that. Does anyone know what the products are that I could do it myself? That was my question, if there is no other option, then that did not help.

unfortunately there is nothing over the counter to help you save money . you should either leave them alone and save money to get it done or get them done professionally. It can be risky to do it yourself at home as you may cut into a vessel or may require stitches . infection can be a bad complication if not sterlized properly.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
